TURKEY: Mehmet Polat Trio - a spiritual bridge of sounds from the Middle East to the Balkans and Africa with Ney, Kora and Ud

Mehmet Polat Trio - Next Spring
 
 
Live concert reviews: 

The concert was a combination of peace, calmness and mesmerizing melodies on black backdrop of the hall, inviting you to travel to another time and a different world. - Jazzkaar Festival, Estonia

The music of the Mehmet Polat Trio was a cure for the soul with the sincerity and pure emotions of their songs. - Jazzkaar Festival, Estonia

Mehmet Polat Trio was a tasty musical color spectrum, the mix of different cultures, melodically rich. A beautiful translucence, like a relaxing snack from Vaba Lava concerts as a change in between. - Jazzrytmit, Finland

The Middle East mixes with improvised jazz and African elements in a move to explore and dissolve borders, while at the same time effortlessly fusing the here and now into the crossovers. - Zinesters, Netherlands
